Winter running gloves on offer at the Sportano shopHands are one of the first places to feel the cold when running in winter conditions. Blood circulation in the fingers is less intense than in other parts of the body, making them easily cold and prone to frostbite. Not only do gloves act as a barrier between your skin and the frosty air, they also provide a layer of insulation to retain heat. The right running gloves will ensure comfort, protection and functionality during winter training.
In the Sportano shop, you will find winter running gloves from renowned brands such as La Sportiva, Nike, Brubeck, Viking and On Running.Materials and technologies in running glovesAs running gloves have to meet a number of requirements - from providing warmth to protection from the wind to enabling interaction with touch devices - manufacturers are constantly looking for new material and technological solutions that combine all these features in one product.
Merino wool is one of the most commonly chosen materials in winter gloves. Thanks to its natural thermal and breathability properties, this wool provides warmth while wicking excess moisture away from the skin. What's more, its natural antibacterial properties reduce the development of unpleasant odours.
Synthetic materials, such as polyester or nylon, are gaining popularity due to their lightweight, durability and ability to dry quickly. They are often combined with other materials to improve insulation or add flexibility. The moisture-wicking technology in these materials allows sweat to be removed quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable while running.
Another important technological element is water resistance. Some gloves are equipped with external wicking layers or membranes that block water from the outside, while allowing moisture inside the glove to evaporate.
Touch technology in gloves is another advancement that has become essential for many runners. Thanks to special conductive fibres on the fingertips, runners can use their smartphones or smartwatches without having to remove their gloves.
Innovation in running gloves is constantly evolving, offering runners a wide range of options to suit their individual needs and weather conditions. By choosing gloves based on the latest materials and technologies, runners can enjoy comfort and functionality at the highest level.Difference between thermal and
windproofWhile both types of gloves aim to provide protection and warmth in cold conditions, they have different functions that determine their use. Thermal gloves are designed primarily with insulation in mind. Made from materials that retain heat, such as merino wool or thicker synthetic fibres, they offer excellent protection on cold days. Windproof gloves, on the other hand, while they may not be as thick as their thermal counterparts, are designed to effectively block cold breezes. They use materials such as Gore-Tex or other membranes that not only protect against the wind, but are also often waterproof, protecting hands from wet snow or rain.Ergonomics and fit of the perfect gloves for running
runningNo matter the material or technology, the fit of running gloves is a key element that affects comfort and functionality. The ideal gloves should fit snugly to the hand, but not be so tight that they restrict blood circulation or finger movement. The flexibility of the material is important, especially when bending fingers or gripping objects. Often manufacturers add elastic panels or inserts to improve the mobility of the gloves. Equally important are the cuffs of the gloves. They should be long enough to cover the wrists and block cool air, yet flexible enough to be easy to put on and take off. Well-fitting gloves will not only make running more comfortable, but will also provide better protection from the cold and wet.
